+## Docker vs Edge Usage
+
+### Docker
+
+Use Docker when you need:
+
+- Long-running sync jobs
+- Batch processing
+- High data volumes
+- Stable server environments
+
+### Edge
+
+Use Edge when you need:
+
+- Low-latency webhook handling
+- Lightweight event processing
+- Serverless deployments
+
+⚠️ Edge is not recommended for heavy analytics or long-running jobs.
+
+## Example Usage

+If you are starting a new project and want to accept Stripe payments:
+
+- Use Stripe Checkout or Stripe SDKs
+- Use this engine only to sync data and run analytics
+
+If you already accept payments and want reporting or dashboards:
+
